BERLIN—iPhones have always benefited from the widest range of unique accessories on the market place. After all, Apple phones are both widespread and fairly standardized across their dissimilar models.

Perhaps that's why Olloclip has only released adaptable lens accessories for Apple devices. We previously reviewed the Olloclip Mobile Photography Box Prepare for the iPhone Ten, which includes a set of wide-bending and macro lenses, along with a stand. Similar lens systems are bachelor for the iPhone 8, iPhone seven, and even the iPhone SE, but no Android devices are supported.

All the Connect 10 lenses are supported. This includes the super-wide angle 120-degree lens, the ultra-broad 155-degree lens, and the telephoto 2X optical zoom lens. That's non all; support also extends to the fish-eye and macro lens for a 180-degree view with some barrel distortion, the macro 7X+14x lens to zoom in on details, and the macro 21X lens, which Olloclip claims "turns your phone into a microscope."

Bated from allowing quick lens swaps, the Multi-Device Clip can switch from the front- to rear-facing camera in a few seconds.

We don't have a full list of all the Android devices the Multi-Device Clip will work with yet, but product photos testify it working with high-end Android smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S9, OnePlus vi, and Google Pixel 2.
